In Reply to: Does the internet ever just become the boring time waster it really is? For you? posted by Nuit on November 19, 2014 at 15:14:51:
No.I spend a lot of time on the Internet while I'm doing other things. For example, I'm typically here on the AA in the morning while I watch the stock market on another computer, practice on my horn, etc. If there's not much to read or reply to, I check out tapeheads.net or gearslutz.com. Occasionally, I go over to diyaudio.com, but a lot of their discussions are beyond my knowledge level, so I often don't know what's right or wrong - all I know is that there's disagreement about circuit topology and opamps. ;)
Then, when I'm tired of multi-tasking, I take a nap. Rinse, repeat. Obviously, I'm simplifying, but you get the idea.
As someone else wrote, it's also a business tool (I do some of the marketing for our symphonic band), a method for communication (email), and to see what's up around the world and with my far-flung friends. I regularly go on to music websites (in the past two years, I've been to five concerts that I wouldn't have known about, were it not for the Internet and email). I also learn a lot by reading posts from people who know stuff that I didn't know. Etc.
Btw, at the moment, West Texas Intermediate for January delivery is at $75.28 a barrel, and Sony is down 36 cents to $20.45. The S&P 500 is basically flat, down .33 (up from an hour ago). Doc Severinsen will be playing in Minneapolis next month with the Minnesota Orchestra (if he can get into the airport!), and three copies of Roger Ingram's new CD are on their way to me.
The Internet is a wonderful thing!
:)
Edit: If I were watching The View or Jerry Springer or Divorce Court, THAT would be a time-waster!!!
